The Montreal-based company says it learned last week that its bid submitted to New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority in December won’t make it to the final round.


In a letter sent to employees, the president of Bombardier Transport’s Americas division said the manufacturer’s poor performance and delays “sealed the fate of our bid.”

Its decision follows Bombardier’s problems in delivering a prototype light rail car and streetcars that have soured its relationship with Toronto transit authorities.

i read about how they stickhandled to deliver some stock to the TTC to meet a deadline. From what i gathered, the TTC had to finish some of the final trim type work.

what a company. hopefully they get more money from the government. i'd hate to think of their executive team having to live off/make do with 5 figure bonuses and not 6 figure ones.
